As I continued with my search for the perfect ‘mate’, Paulo Coelho’s ‘Brida’ walked into my life. The book has been an inspiration for my current contemplation: Of all the wonderful Prince Charmings’ I meet everyday which one is my Soulmate?
I have already spent one fourth of my life dreaming and anxiously awaiting for a moment when that perfectly made gift of love would come galloping into my life, sweep me off my feet to experience ‘fireworks’ that lasts for eternity…a perfect emotional bonding and compatibility that fits my personality finer than my perfect pair of gloves. (Wow!!! that sounds like a piece out of one of Charles Perrault’s big book of Fairy Tales.)
Perhaps a good place to begin figuring out the where’s and the how’s would be to ask my little inconspicuous and complicatedly wired brain to heart network what I visualize my ‘Soulmate’ to look like? The answer to that has been on an ever changing and ever evolving etude since my first ever encounter with the idea of ‘Being in love’, from the Prince Charming of Walt Disney to Jack Dawson of Titanic.
Dreams of a little heart
Of beautiful lands oceans apart
With brave knights on valiant steeds
Flowers to charm and a tango to lead
A Prince charming for Cinderella’s steps
A Dazzling Nobel to kiss Snow Whites lips
With no step sister to taunt or a step mother to harm
What then would I do then with a brave knight’s charm?
A reverie then at brimming adolescence
Showing me the world, the stars and the moon
A man I wanted from the pages of Mills n Boon
My story of love to be the model of perfection
A tender caress my love’s first kiss
Youth shall kindle the fire, that with time shall thaw
Bygone beauty stepping the prime of life
Memories of nights and moments of bliss
A silent request, a prayer at womanhood
The keys to my heart not Robin shall hold
For eternal youth a companion I shall seek
Thirst for cognizance he shall seek
With flowers to charm and a tango to lead
Lines of wisdom in his eyes I shall read
- Shree
